In reply to: pat0003 's message, "Re: Why Do You Wear a Girdle" on 08:37:45 02/01/24 Thu

I am a straight male, not a crossdresser (although I have a few times: one year, my ex-wife decided that we were going to a Halloween party with her dressed as a lumberjack and me as "his" merry maiden. She selected what I would wear: nylon thong panties, pantyhose, an extra-firm HWLLPG, a very lacy industrial-strength bra stuffed with socks, a skirt, 2" heeled "flats", a lacy nylon camisole, a semi-transparent blouse, and a shoulder-length wig. She also did the make-up on my face and painted my finger and toe nails. It was an interesting experience, spending 6 or 7 hours completely dressed up in woman's lingerie and clothes, but nothing that I would care to do on any kind of regular basis. I can sympathize why many women like to take all of that off at the end of the work day and relax in something a lot more comfortable, like sweats.), don't think of myself as and don't wish to "be" a female, and simply enjoy wearing nylon panties and a firm/extra-firm high waist, long leg, panty girdle, and occasionally some pantyhose and a nylon or satin camisole.
I enjoy wearing a girdle because I like the compression and the feeling of tightness around my waist and lower rib cage, across my stomach and hips, around my butt and around my thighs very much. Generally speaking, for me, tighter is better (but without cutting off circulation or over-doing it by trying to squeeze into a girdle that is 4 or 5 sizes too small), so a firm or, especially, extra firm control HWLLPG works best for me. I've also found a few moderate control HWLLPGs that feel good and provide good compression.
Another reason is the feeling of the fabric. Most of my girdles are, of course, from nylon/spandex or satin/spandex, or a combination of the two. Running the fabric through my fingers feels very luxurious, and the same can be said for when I am wearing one of them: the fabric, itself, just feels like pure luxury against my skin.
I also like what a girdle does for my body shape and posture: smoothing out some of the lumps and bumps, a bit of flattening here and there, giving a bit of a nice lift in a few spots, and almost "forcing" me to maintain good posture. Wearing a girdle also always makes my clothes fit a little better, which is a nice bonus.
And then there is the "taboo" aspect of doing something a little naughty, by wearing underwear that, by social standards, I'm not supposed to be wearing. Whenever I wear in public (under my male street clothes), it always puts a bit of a smile on my face, knowing that I am "getting away" with something that I'm not supposed to be doing. And I suppose that the "taboo" aspect of wearing women's foundations and underwear also subtly contributes to the psychological – and possibly, the physical – pleasures of wearing them. Although there was a bit of a sexual aspect to wearing a girdle in my early teens (wearing one never "excited" me to the point of orgasm), that has long since "worn off", and, for many, many years, I have simply enjoyed wearing a girdle for the reasons listed above.
I've been wearing panties and girdles for nearly 55 years, and the other lingerie items for a few years less time. And, yes – like many others here – I was a connoisseur of the Sears, Montgomery Wards, Spiegel. and other catalogues' lingerie and, especially, the girdle sections, in my youth. It was rather quite disappointing, when they all stopped publishing their catalogues, and/or went out of business....
So...there are some of my reasons for wearing a girdle (and other lingerie), and a little of my girdle-wearing background. I hope that what I've written will be/has been of some interest to the readers of this forum, and that I have not droned-on for too long.
I am looking forward to reading other members' reasons and stories.
